I am pi$$ed off to the heights of pi$$$tivity!

All of the talking heads are wringing their hands like a bleeding heart liberal over the defensive holding call that effectively handed the Super Bowl to the Chiefs yesterday.

I don't remember this much angst when the refs didn't make an obvious pass interference/helmet to helmet hit that if called, would have sent the Saints to their second Super Bowl and we would have finally had a Brees/Brady Super Bowl!

Yes... we all noticed. (James Bradberry: I tugged his jersey, but I was hoping they would let it slide)

Now Feagle Fans can STFU.

It's because they all picked the Eagles to win and were wrong. I am delighted that Philly lost. Even more delighted that Ceedy lost after disrespecting his former Saints teammates. Now I hope Jalen Hurts demands a five year $300 million fully guaranteed deal when his time comes.

i think the big issue, at least for me was this hand fighting happened throughout the first 55 minutes or so with little or no calls, now all of sudden it was called at that moment. Once again, was it holding? yes....should it have been called in that situation, at that moment? not so sure. I'm like you good to see ceedy lose.

Agreed. I am fine with a call like that as long as they have been calling it like that the whole game. Not all of a sudden.

And I don't agree with people who say you shouldn't call that at the end of the game. I don't get why the rules should change at the end of the game.

+1. Noticed Greg Olsen said that a couple of times.

A hold is a hold.

I agree. It doesn't matter if an officiating crew fails to make a call earlier in a game for whatever reason. If they see one near the end of the game they should call it. Calls are going to be missed at times, but should never be ignored when they are seen regardless of the timeliness of the call.
